Shi Feng was surrounded by a golden aura, trapped in a sea of fiery flames. Since the path upward was blocked by the Yan Clan Patriarch, Shi Feng swiftly changed direction and flew forward.

Just as Shi Feng's figure moved again, a shadow emerged quietly from the violent flames ahead. It was the Yan Clan Patriarch once more!

The Yan Clan Patriarch stretched out his right hand toward Shi Feng, who was rushing towards him, and spoke calmly, "I told you, you must die!"

As the Yan Clan Patriarch's calm voice sounded, an invisible and powerful force suddenly swept through the world. The blazing sea of flames transformed into a fiery vortex, with Shi Feng at its center.

"Damn! Acting so arrogant? Will you live or die? Let's see!" Shi Feng growled at the surrounding golden aura. He felt the powerful, scorching energy gathering around him, seeking to destroy.

Yet, the golden aura outside continued to shield him. Faced with the relentless Yan Clan Patriarch, Shi Feng gritted his teeth fiercely, his face showing a ferocious snarl. Since this creature was determined to block his path and wipe him out, he decided to leverage the power of the Source of All Things for a battle.

"Die for me!" Shi Feng's figure flew rapidly forward, unleashing a roar of anger as he approached the Yan Clan Patriarch, crashing towards him.

If you won't let me escape, I'll fight you to the death.

"Humph!" As Shi Feng dared to crash towards him, a disdainful snort appeared on the Yan Clan Patriarch's proud face.

Then, the enormous fiery vortex in the sky condensed into his palm. In an instant, it compressed into a fiery vortex the size of a fist, yet its influence was more intense and suffocating.

Following this, the Yan Clan Patriarch struck at Shi Feng with a swift palm, impacting the golden aura protecting Shi Feng.

"Boom!" The collision of two forces of demigod power erupted explosively across the land, causing intense spatial turbulence.

"Crack!" A sound like an eggshell breaking echoed, and a ten-meter-long fissure appeared in the flame-illuminated night sky.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to the appearing crack. Every eye widened, showing faces of disbelief, gazing upwards.

The Yan Clan warriors, along with Mang Da, Mang Gang, and the young girl of the Python Dragon Clan, all witnessed the two figures flying backward due to each other's power.

As Shi Feng's figure was thrown back, it felt natural to everyone; surviving was already impressive for him.

Yet, the almost invincible, deity-like patriarch actually flew backward due to the opponent's power. This... this was hard to accept for the Yan people.

The opponent was merely a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth!

"No! Impossible! Patriarch! I must be dreaming! This can never happen!"

"Our powerful patriarch! How could this happen!"

"Father! Father! How could it.."

Though the Yan people couldn't accept this fact, it truly happened! It was an unchangeable fact.

The powerful Yan Clan Patriarch collided fiercely with the young man, and both were repelled by each other's force.

Shi Feng, flying backward, noticed the golden aura surrounding him, after several attacks with the Demigod Realm expert, was dimming and turning yellow.

Apparently, the fierce clash like the past at the Undying Mountain against the Blood Pattern Egg had consumed a lot of energy from the Source of All Things.

However, the yellow glow now was much better than before; back then, the Source of All Things was nearly depleted and in a gray, lifeless state.

This time, the clash with the Yan Clan Patriarch ended in a draw. It blocked his attack, but Shi Feng couldn't guarantee that next time, or many times thereafter, the Source of All Things would continue to protect him.

Contemplating this, Shi Feng's flying figure soon halted sharply, then quickly twisted and soared through the air once more.

Just as Shi Feng's flying body stopped, the Yan Clan Patriarch's figure also paused. He looked at the departing shape breaking through the sky, moving farther from the Yan Clan territory, as a chilling voice gradually reached:

"Yan Clan! I've remembered you! When I return, it will be the day your clan faces extinction. Wait for it!"

The voice grew distant, and that figure gradually disappeared from sight.

Seeing the power that erupted earlier, the Yan people and the heads of the Python Dragon Clan did not dare to chase.

Strangely, even the powerful Yan Clan Patriarch did not pursue, remaining proudly in the sky, eyes fixed on the vanishing figure.

Just as the Yan Clan Patriarch saw the figure truly depart from the Yan Clan territory, his composed face suddenly changed, his body quivered, bending as a retching sound emerged from his mouth.

A spurt of fresh, red blood spewed from his lips.

Unexpectedly, the mighty Yan Clan Patriarch, wielding the power of a Demigod Realm expert, was injured and vomiting blood!

"Patriarch!"

"Father!"

Seeing the patriarch injured, shapes shot out from the dense flaming columns in the sky, gathering above the Yan Clan Patriarch.

At this moment, the Yan Clan Patriarch's bent figure straightened, waved a hand to the approaching Yan figures, and firmly said, "No need to come, I'm fine!"

"Patriarch!"

"Father!"

Despite the Yan Clan Patriarch's assurance of being fine, worried voices echoed. Yet, those rushing figures stopped under his command.
